Well, to be more specific, my girlfriend needs carpenter bees. She is doing research for her graduate work at SUNY Oneonta and needs carpenter bees from all over New York state.

I realize this is a strange request but if anyone has carpenter bees around their house and would be willing to kill them, put them in a container and ship them to me I would greatly appreciate it. I would be willing to compensate you for the shipping charges.

Real talk...I have like 40 of them out drilling perfect circles in the wood of my carport. We have been known to try to knock them from there to the street(a home run) with a tree branch. Yes...we are childish.

What about half a bird for the same price he offers? I have a guy in jersey shelling out big bucks for bird heads. I can double my profit and invest it in the giant hamster breeding program I've always dreamt of. When it finally takes off, I will reserve the biggest hamster for you, free of charge. I'll even throw in two ostrich eggs that are really just large left over orthodox easter eggs painted pink with yellow stripes.
